Many new and enhanced features

REFINE WITH POWERFUL PHOTOGRAPHY TOOLS

Achieve superior results in fewer steps when you remove noise, add grain, create vignettes, correct lens distortions, sharpen, and create HDR images. And enjoy better-than-ever raw file conversion thanks to improved demosaicing.

Quick image corrections

• Automatic lens correction NEW Save time with automatic correction of lens distortions, chromatic aberration, and vignetting. Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 uses an image file's EXIF data to make precise adjustments based on the type of camera and lens you used.
• Lens Correction filter improvements ENHANCED Work more intuitively with the Lens Correction filter. The Grid display is now off by default; chromatic aberration correction sliders allow decimal point adjustments; a third slider has been added to correct common green/magenta aberrations; and more.
• Straighten Image tool NEW Quickly straighten any crooked image. Simply drag a straight line from the Ruler tool onto your image, and the image will snap to the line.
• Gradient tool preset for neutral density NEW Use the Neutral Density preset to emulate a neutral density filter, clicking once to have the Gradient tool darken an overexposed patch of a photo while leaving the rest unaltered.

Professional color and tone control

• HDR Pro ENHANCED Create either photo-realistic or wildly surreal high dynamic range (HDR) images with unprecedented speed, control, and accuracy. Get stunning results thanks to automatic ghost removal and greater control with tone mapping and adjustments.
• HDR Toning NEW Give any single-exposure image the photo-realistic or wildly surreal look of an HDR image. The HDR Toning feature offers an easy way to bring the rich aesthetic of high dynamic range to your 8-bit images.
• Black-and-white conversion ENHANCED Explore an endless variety of black-and-white looks. Use the integrated Lab B&W Action to interactively convert color images; create gorgeous HDR black-and-whites with greater ease and speed; and experiment with new presets.
• Industry-leading color correction Use Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools that intelligently preserve color and tone details, Curves controls that let you make automatic adjustments with included presets or those you create, a histogram, color channel lines, and more.

State-of-the-art processing with Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6

• Noise removal ENHANCED Remove the noise common to high-ISO images and consumer-camera shots while preserving color and detail. You won't need more than this reengineered noise removal technology to maintain a photo's natural look, avoiding an oversharpened feel as you maximize quality.
• Better conversions with new demosaicing NEW Process raw images with the industry-leading Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6 plug-in, which offers new demosaicing technology for unmatched conversion quality.
• Support for more cameras and Lightroom ENHANCED Enjoy tight integration with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® software as well as support for over 275 camera models.
• Additive grain NEW Make a digital photo look more organic or film-like by using a simple slider to add grain. Even save grain settings as presets that you can apply to other photos to achieve a consistent look.
• Post-crop vignetting ENHANCED Enjoy more control as you perform post-crop vignetting, and save favorite vignette effects as presets.

Maximize creative impact

Explore new creative possibilities with tremendous precision and freedom. Easily select intricate image elements, such as hair. Create realistic painting effects. Remove any image element and see the space fill in almost magically.

Intelligent image editing and enhancement

• Better selections with Truer Edge NEW Get better edge detection and masking results in less time with the Quick Selection tool — even when you're selecting the trickiest image elements, such as hair.
• Color decontamination NEW Eliminate background color around the edges of your selection with the Quick Selection tool's automatic color decontamination capabilities.
• Selection and mask refinement tools NEW Automatically vary selection edges and perfect masks using new refinement tools.
• Content-Aware Fill NEW Remove any image detail or object and watch as Content-Aware Fill magically fills in the space left behind. This breakthrough technology matches lighting, tone, and noise so it looks as if the removed content never existed.
• Puppet Warp NEW Precisely reposition or warp any image element. Swing a raised arm to a person's side in a photo, stretch text to create new effects, and more.
• Content-Aware Scaling Automatically recompose an image as you resize it, smartly preserving vital areas as the image adapts to the new dimensions. Get the perfect image in one step without time-intensive cropping and retouching.
• Content-aware Retouching Retouch images easily and precisely by previewing source pixels within the cursor of the Clone Stamp and the Healing Brush. Set multiple source points, scale, and rotate in the Clone Source palette.
• Perspective-based editing Create packaging mockups and more with Vanishing Point, which lets you create multiple planes in an image; connect them at any angle; and then wrap graphics, text, and images around them.
• Smart Filters Experiment by adding, adjusting, and removing filters from an image without resaving the image or starting over to preserve quality. Nondestructive Smart Filters allow you to see the changes without altering original pixel data.
• Smart Objects Perform nondestructive scaling, rotating, and warping of raster and vector graphics with Smart Objects. Even preserve the editability of vector data from Adobe Illustrator® software.

Extraordinary painting and drawing toolset

• Mixer Brush NEW Define multiple colors on a single Mixer Brush tip to paint with realistic color blends. Or use a dry Mixer Brush to blend a photo's colors and transform it into a beautiful painting.
• Bristle Tips NEW Easily paint with lifelike, naturally textured brush strokes using defined bristle properties like shape, length, and stiffness, and experiment away by adding Bristle Tips to a variety of Photoshop brush tools.
• GPU-accelerated painting tools NEW Click to smoothly resize brushes; adjust bristle hardness; or choose your color hue, saturation, or brightness from an onscreen color picker.
• Rich drawing toolset Create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully customizable drawing tools.

Advanced compositing

• Paste in place NEW Paste an element into a Photoshop file in the same position it held in the original file, for example, when you create something on the wrong layer and need to move it to the exact same place on a new layer.
• Multi-layer Opacity NEW Save time with the ability to adjust the opacity of many layers at once.
• Multi-layer Fill NEW Save time with the ability to adjust the fill of many layers at once.
• Sticky layer styles NEW Save your individual layer-style settings as defaults.

• Easier layer management ENHANCED Drag and drop a file onto an open PSD document to create a layer; nest up to ten layers; move a selection while the active layer is hidden; and delete all empty layers with one command.
• 360-degree panoramas Count on Photomerge® technology to automatically stitch horizontal or vertical photos to create amazing panoramas — and even 360-degree spheres.
• Auto-alignment of layers Create accurate composites with the Auto-Align Layers command, which lets you move, rotate, or warp layers to align them accurately. Or use spherical alignment to create breathtaking spherical panoramas.
• Extended depth of field
